Region Unlock? One of the reviewers said it took a remote sequence to unlock the 5982 for all regions?

I copied this from a website, but I verified the digit sequence from another website: 1. Press Setup 2. Select Preference 3. Press 1,3,8,9,3,1 4. Press up/down key to select "0" Then it plays NTSC or PAL any region as it is now region free. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN ENTERING THIS. IF YOU DON'T DO IT CORRECTLY, IT CAN DISABLE YOUR PLAYER PERMANENTLY. Try at your own risk.

Thanks for that.Questions:1 Are there any known bugs resulting from switching to "region-free"?2 Can it be flipped back to NTSC?

Has anyone found a region 1 code method that works for the Samsung DVD-VR375?

Jason: Mine plays NTSC and PAL region free discs fine but anything that is region locked (2, 3, etc) wont play. I played some discs that were marked region 2 pal and they would not play but others also marked region 2 pal played fine as well as region 3. I suspect that, at least in my case, that some of my dvd's might be labeled region 2 or 3 but are in fact all region or region 0. Have you checked anything that you know for sure is region locked? Its very interesting that you are having no issues at all. At least I know that it is NTSC PAL friendly. Otherwise, this player rocks

Samsung has this regional lock which prevents products from one region to work on a different region. I didn't know it when ordered, and had to return it. I wouldn't take the chance..

1. I found PAL listing in the set up menu so you change this using your remote control.2. I did not even need to make it region free to make it work for DVD's from other countries. Even if you need this the code is already posted by a reviewer on Amazon

Here's the problem. I have not yet found the solution to make this region free. If you search for the "patch" code crack, whatever you like to call it, you get a few solutions. It seems that some people got it to work, but there are a few including myself that hasn't (and I got mine here at amazon). I also have noticed that the region code that they are telling you to input is the Region 2 Player hack. The region 1 code they tell you to use 29334 has not worked for me. It might not be the correct code for the Region 1 player. ***SIDE NOTE If your looking to convert VHS to DVD, know that picture quality is really great, but on bad vhs tapes the audio goes out of sync and records that way throughout the rest of the movie. I have had this happen many times.

I've read people complain of this, but I cannot find where on the write ups this player says its multi-regional.Both the Sony website and the users manual say explicitly this player is only for region 1.

It is marked as a Region 4 player, but set up to work for "all" regions -- "0" through 6 are advertised, 7 & 8 are "special use" codes and may not be supported. The "all region" setting was likely done by someone other than SONY. Mine works well with Region 1 and Region 2 discs, and I've also tried it with "Region 0" PAL DVD's.

I bought the N9005 Galaxy Note 3 to WorldWide Distributor seller, and came with the European Regional Lock SIM Card, I had to purchase an unlock code worked for me in America.

Were you able to switch it back to Region 1, and did that solve the "disc error" problem? I unlocked my player and it worked well for three months, then -- bam! -- the same problem as you. So I guess the firmware has a bug in it or something?

Yes it does. This model has no issues working in the U.S...Aslo, I purchased games and I am playing them just fine. and once you power up the first time it lets you choose your regional settings including language.
